winter. getting up to the sound of my cats meowing. sleeping cuddled up with tons of blankets. early mornings, late nights. violin sounds. expressive piano playing. God's hand on our family. and big, juicy strawberries. oh, winter, will you stay another year?

By the way, thanks for all of you who have participated in my blog poll.

Today I arrived at school at 7:00am (woke up at 5:45) and finished my geography homework (I'm studying world tourism) and a chapter of my maths study... I have to do 11 exercises by next Wednesday (preferably by the weekend). Trust me, today I only got through 1 chapter!

The rest of my day was great... Tuesday's are my best day. But in every spare minute of thinking I thought of how much I have to do and the stress overwhelmed me again. Don't let me list all the stuff I have to do... it's listed right beside me!

I have done so many hours of homework this afternoon my brain honestly feels like the heaviest hippo is residing in it and it will fall off my neck soon and roll across the floor with all the weight!!!

My poor friend Kate has had a really sore rib for the past couple of days and this time for her must be agony, with all of her commitments like horse riding, going to the farm and watching her all-time favourite move (at the moment, it changes often) stick it.

She has urged me to watch it. Have you seen it before or not?

So, please forgive me for my ranting and please post me a comment or email or something! It will honestly help me get through this! (if you want to send me a letter and I have have been talking to you on email for a while, email me again for my address)

" A rose must remain with the sun or the rain or it's lovely promise won't come true."

- Ray Evans

Roses seem to have such a radiant beauty that however many times you see them, on computer or in your day-to-day life, you are filled with such joy at having the enormous privilege to live on such a delicately -made world. No big bang theory for me. Certainly God made it just for us.

as you go to hospital tomorrow morning, may God bless you white you're there, on your anaesthetic just to clean you teeth. Although that may seem indeed comical to us, you will find the Antarctic-like environment horrible.

May the butterfly that I made you guide you through your operation (close friends will know what I mean).

This is the bento box style lunch I made for myself and my parents yesterday. It included a carrot condiment (to replace the ginger topping for sushi), fried capsicum and carrot, boiled noodles with soy sauce, and my home-style avocado, Japanese tuna, capsicum and mayonnaise sushis. The carrot was made with a lot of lemon juice, a tbs of sesame oil, two carrots, soy sauce, sugar and salt! I would have to have preferred not to have any sesame oil or soy sauce to make it more like the ginger condiment, but it tasted lovely anyway!
